Purchased this car in 2004.Had a long restoration done to it. Since then I drove it only about 300 miles. It has sat in the garage for the last three years. Time for a new home.I don't know the mileage. The speedometer in it was the wrong one so I could not trust the mileage on it. The service records from California said it had over 100,000 miles on it. After the complete restoration, I bought the correct speedometer that goes with that car and it reds the mileage I put on since the restoration. I had all the work done by shops recommended by the PCA. Motor was rebuilt from top to bottom. Heads were rebuilt. All new bearing, springs and valves. Work done by the Werk shoppe in Melbourne, Fl. 300 miles on car since.All new clutch and pressure plate.New AC lines and compressor.All new fuel lines. Restored gas tank. Fuel distributor was rebuilt.All new engine wiring harness. All that nasty old wiring is mostly gone.SSI heat exchangers and new loud Dansk muffler for that added Horse Power. Sounds great!Motor was installed and assembled into car by Troy sport in Orlando, Florida. Body has new black paint. Work done by D&G in Longwood, Fl. Paint is good. Some imperfections but I would give it a 90%. Main issue is the passenger door has some orange peal on the lower part of the door. A few spots here and there but the car's paint impresses still.Interior has new carpet. New Floor mats. New dashboard wrapped in leather. Fresh door panels. Seats are off a 1985 Carrara and has power. I had the seats lowered and inch to accommodate my large body.All new body seals, gaskets and trim. The Targa top was restored by Cars n top in NJ. There is a fit issue where the passenger window doesn't fully slip into the top. Pick shows this. Told the front seal needs to be trimmed and window adjusted. i tried but couldn't fix it. Need a pro to align all that. Tires have excellent tread. There is a flat spot as the car sat for a few years. Up to you to see if that is OK or if you want new rubber. Drives great other wise.The wheels are in great shape and original.The suspension was not restored. As you can see, I am honest about this car. It is a great car and an excellent example of an early 80's Targa. I rate it higher than most of those other ones out there. What you get here is a car that has been restored 100% mechanically by some of the best Porsche shops in Florida. New paint and new or restored interior. Little issues? yes. Fun car that is a great investment and a daily driver? Yes. Buyers are more than welcome, and even encouraged to inspect the vehicle in person BEFORE the auction ends.

No speakers in doors as I leave your sound system choice up to you. Never liked the idea of sound in this Porsche as the sound of the motor and exhaust as well as the sound of the wind through the open top is a joy. Added a youtube video so you can hear it start and see the gauges work at: https://youtu.be/AqL_v8m5k4gOn Sep-21-15 at 08:25:59 PDT, seller added the following information: 9/21/15I was asked what prompted me to restore the car. Well, I wanted a car that I could put in my garage and work on on my own. I searched for a project car (Cheap) that I could restore myself.(LOL). This car was a daily diver but had some issues. There was some damage to the rear right quarter and there was some rust at the base of the targa bar and drivers door bottom.. Instead of Bondo on the door,I sourced a used clean door and replaced the rusted door with it. The targa bar rust was repaired and the targa bar was welded new.The previous owner painted it an awful red color. The interior was brown but in awful condition. The dash was trash, the seats were garbage. The motor blew smoke. After I took the motor out I realized the job was too big for me. I sent the motor out while the car went to the body shop because the project just overwhelmed me. in the end, I did spend a lot (over $30,000 on car and restoration) but, in the end, it came out so much better than what i could do myself. especially mechanically. I get raves on the strength and performance and quality of this motor. I then spent a year sourcing replacement parts. I used many of the same places all of you know about. I spent a fortune at Pelican parts and other places. I had the dash, center consul and door tops all wrapped in black leather. I bought new door cards used. All new German carpeting and mats. I went from a crappy brown destroyed interior to a fresh black one.I sent in for an authentication certificate to Porsche. I spent the $90 but it came back with little information. It was black with brown. I change it from red with brown to black with black. I did not bring it back to original as the original paint was already gone and the brown interior was trash. So I started over on a interior color for Florida.. Black!!! The top needed to be restored so I sent it out to the definitive and trusted targa top guy in NJ. All new liner, paint and skin. Totally restored. Now, the right window, when fully up, does not sit into the top's seal. It rides and sets against the outside. I tried to adjust the window myself buy I am no pro. I called the top guy in NJ and he says the new seals that Porsche sells are too large in diameter and do not meet original spec. It needs to be trimmed. He said this was a common issue. I punted on this as i did not want to screw up it up as I am all thumbs. The fit never was a problem and it caused me no issues but, for a buyer and full disclosure, you will need some one to fit this nicely. So, I think I have all your questions answered here.I know you will love this car. Good restoration. Excellent Mechanically and electrically. Looks great. Al
